Lemoyne Star Quilt
Pattern: Lemoyne Star
Date: c. 1880-1890
Provenance/Notes:
An exquisite collection of scrappy 19th century fabrics pieced into 49 Lemoyne Star blocks against a perfectly patina’d indigo background
Beautiful quilting throughout the quilt, with fan quilting around the entire border and clamshell quilting in all the indigo square patches
Notice the lovely little micro floral print in the indigo fabric
This quilt has a very pleasing hand, and has a natural muslin back and thin but noticeable batting
From the collection of a prominent Northern Virginia quilt collector; maker and origin unknown
Washed by hand and in very good condition with just 5 out of 49 blocks that have some black/brown fabric star points that are showing varying degrees of wear
This quilt has a cotton pole sleeve stitched along one longer side for hanging if desired (but also easily removed)
Measurements: 64” x 79”
$20 flat rate shipping includes insurance coverage for the full purchase amount. Price for smaller items have been adjusted (lowered) to account for the lower shipping cost.
International customers: If you enter a shipping address outside of the US, you will not be charged for shipping upon checkout. A separate invoice will be sent once shipping is calculated. If you need a shipping estimate, please reach out ahead of time. Tax will be added only to Virginia state orders. Orders shipped to destinations outside of Virginia are not taxed.
15% of profits from every quilt sale in this collection will go towards Housing Families First, an organization in Richmond, VA that helps families resolve their homelessness through crisis response, community housing, and youth housing programs. For more on their work, see www.housingfamiliesfirst.org
Note on antique/vintage quilts: Many of the quilts we sell have been loved, slept under, washed, sunshine dried, taken on picnics, slept on underneath the stars, and lived lifetimes before arriving at our doorstep. You can expect to see repairs made by later generations, fraying around the edges or in certain blocks, discoloration or yellowing, cotton/wool batting—or as we like to call them, tiny sheep—peeking through. They are imperfect, but their imperfections are charming to us and we hope you feel the same. They are reminders to us of their old age and the history to which they've been a witness. We try our best to note any imperfections, but it’s possible we might miss one here and there. Well-crafted, handmade antique quilts in their original form are becoming scarcer, and we believe it's vital that we preserve them and continue to love them, imperfections and all.
Because these quilts are one-of-a-kind and we are a tiny enterprise, we do not accept returns; please review all photos and the description carefully and ask any questions you may have prior to purchasing.
